In this video, join me on my adventure to Dousha Pass in Yunnan. I decided to walk on the cliff walkway carved by locals, perched on the edge of the abyss. locals walk on it everyday with confidence and ease but freaked me out there. it's scary but magnitude.

Below this cliff walkway, I also went to the Qin Wu Chi road built 2000 years ago, where every step is imbued with history.

It's amazing to witness that old roads and new roads coexist here.

On the cliff wall, there is hanging coffins of Bo people, a mysterious practice in China concerning how they placed their coffins on the cliff.

We parked out van just across the cliff with hanging coffins and strolled in this little town to feel the lives here. One day, we saw a group of people across the cliff with hanging coffins holding a ceremony, burning incense, hanging prayer flags, to commemorate their recently deceased family members. In that moment, it felt like I was witnessing a dialogue across time, as if the Bo people were still here.

Join our adventure here in Dousha Pass!
